Say It with Emojis: Voice-Activated Emoji Sending Guide For Android And iPhones

Voice dictation has advanced significantly in recent years, yet its capabilities remain somewhat constrained, particularly when faced with accents that challenge comprehension. Moreover, while sending text messages via voice is feasible, incorporating emojis can prove cumbersome.

Consider this scenario: you wish to conclude a message with a heart emoji after saying, “Okay, see you at night.” However, your phone might transcribe it as “Okay, see you at night heart emoji,” lacking the visual charm intended. If you seek a method to seamlessly integrate emojis into voice inputs, here’s a concise guide to ensure your messages retain their clarity and charm.

Typically, the voice-to-text function translates emojis into text because the emoticon's actual name might differ from what you expect. To acquaint yourself with the correct nomenclature for popular emojis on Android and iOS , visit Emojipedia .

How to Incorporate Emojis into Voice Messages on an iPhone :

1. Launch the application in which you intend to type or send a message.
2. Within the text input field, tap the microphone icon on your keyboard to activate dictation.
3. Proceed to dictate your message, articulating the name of the desired emoji followed by the term “emoji.”
4. Note: This feature may be unavailable on older versions of iOS.

How to Integrate Emojis into Voice Messages on an Android Device:

The process remains consistent across most Android devices, ensuring compatibility with nearly all smartphones and tablets.

• Open the application where you plan to compose the message.
• On your keyboard, locate and tap the microphone icon.
• Commence dictating your message, describing the desired emoji by pronouncing its name followed by the term 'emoji.'

For instance, to append a heart emoji to the message “Okay, see you at night,” simply say, “Okay, see you at night red heart emoji.” If you encounter difficulties with Google’s text-to-speech function understanding your speech, access settings by tapping the gear icon, navigate to “Languages,” and select your preferred language or accent.
